I have been trying to help my neighbor out with his possum problem.And last night I got this fellow at 40 yds with a 18gr jsb behind the right shoulder.I have used the shoulder shot because he would not stop moving and hear lately its seems to do a better job than the headshot.When the shot hit him he flinched and kept on moving and then he looked a little dazed and fell over.

He most likly fell over dead when he spotted that monster rifle pointed in his direction.   Figured he didn't have a prayer and gave it up.

Good Shooting.  And a health looking possum.

Very nice shooting.  Good size country rat.  40yd shot at night in the heart/lungs is something to be proud of.

Is that the 30" long Russian gun?  Nice wood stock.

WHat kind of rifle did you shoot him with. That stock is pretty cool.

: The Edgun..

That's the Edgun - from Russia.  There is only 1 importer/dealer in the US you can order them from if you have $1,559.  

They are very light and only 30" long, putting out 30-32fpe with 18.1gr JSB's which are known to be very accurate with (around 900fps).  With Kodiaks I would imagine you can get another 1-2fpe out of them possibly but they are most accurate with the JSB's.

I like this gun a lot.  The only thing that I don't know about, is how I would like putting my cheeck on the metal action near the breach.  There is no rubber, or stock or raised cheek-piece, etc. to lean your face on, because of its design which makes it a small carbine.  I 'd probably get used to it quickly I would imagine, especially if the gun is very accurate :)

Excellent night time sniping with that Russian airgun.  You smacked that possum hard.
